Sania Mirza has switched to a new racquet. A user of Head frames so far, the Indian tennis player wielded a Wilson model at the ongoing Australian Open. “I’m thrilled to be part of the Wilson team,” says Sania. “Wilson has the top players on tour because they have the best racquets. I love the way my new racquet feels.”
